Kyber

A personal AI assistant that actually works.

Kyber is a lightweight AI bot you can set up in 60 seconds and talk to from Discord, Telegram, WhatsApp, or the command line. It doesn’t get stuck. It doesn’t take minutes to respond. It handles multiple conversations at once, runs tasks in the background, and stays out of your way.

Why Kyber

• Fast setup — one command installs, configures, and runs
• Never locks up — concurrent message handling means the bot keeps responding, even during long tasks
• Background tasks — kick off complex work without blocking the conversation
• Any provider — OpenRouter, Anthropic, OpenAI, Gemini, DeepSeek, Groq, or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint
• Split providers — use one model for chat and a different one for background tasks
• Chat where you are — Discord, Telegram, and WhatsApp out of the box
• Built-in tools — web search, shell commands, GitHub, file I/O, and an extensible skills system
• Runs anywhere — laptop, VPS, Raspberry Pi. Optional system service keeps it always on
• Dashboard — secure local web UI for config, model selection, and monitoring
• Scheduled tasks — cron jobs and heartbeat for proactive check-ins
• Security Center — environment audits, ClamAV malware scanning, Cisco AI Defense skill scanning, issue tracking, and scan history
• Secure by default — API keys and tokens stored in a locked-down .env file, never in plaintext JSON

Quick install

curl -fsSL https://kyber.chat/install.sh | bash

This detects your OS, installs dependencies if needed, walks you through provider setup with model selection, writes your config, and optionally sets up system services.

Or install manually:

uv tool install kyber-chat

Then head to Getting Started to configure and run.
